A composite can be defined as a material having two or more chemically distinct phases, which at the microscopic scale are separated by a distinct interface. A composite have light weight, high strength to weight ratio and stiffness... more
olysulfone-based membrane has been used in hemodialysis (HD) and it is continuously developed to maintain its sustainability on the subject of biocompatibility. During the polysulfone-based membrane development, several parameters should... more
The emergence of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as endodontic repair filling material has generated a lot of interest due to its superior sealing ability and biocompatibility. Although MTA possesses superior sealing ability to... more
Background: Silicon and its oxides are widely used in biomaterials research, tissue engineering and drug delivery. These materials are highly biocompatible, easily surface-functionalized, degrade into non-toxic silicic acid and can be... more
Nanohydrogel combines the advantages of hydrogel and nano particulate systems. Similar to the hydrogel and macrogel, nanohydrogel can protect the drug and control drug release by stimuli responsive conformation or biodegradable bond into... more
This chapter highlights select gelatin-based carrier matrices which are seeing more frequent use as drug delivery systems. Gelatin gels, alone and in combination with other polymers, can act as carriers for the delivery of various... more
An anodizing electrolyte solution composed of zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2-NPs) was nucleated within CaP compounds dispersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) and was then deposited on an AZ31B magnesium alloy. The anodized bioceramic... more
Bone tissue engineering has developed significantly in recent years as there has been increasing demand for bone substitutes due to trauma, cancer, arthritis, and infections. The scaffolds for bone regeneration need to be mechanically... more
Biomaterials based on seeding of cells on decellularized scaffolds have gained increasing interest in the last few years and suggested to serve as an alternative approach to bioengineer artificial organs and tissues for transplan-tation.... more
Pre-clinical safety or biocompatibility studies of newer biomaterials intended for clinical use are paramount in medical implant technology. The in vivo safety of rat (allogeneic) and dog (xenogeneic) cadaveric bone implants (CBI) in the... more
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been used clinically for many years. It has good biocompatibility in bone contact as its chemical composition is similar to that of bone material. Porous HA ceramics have found enormous use in biomedical... more
BACKGROUND: Recently, new calcium silicate bioceramic sealers were introduced to the market. The selection of root canal sealers should not only be based on the different physical parameters but also on local biocompatibility and tissue... more
The present study aimed to the investigation of the feasibility of the combined biohydrogen and biopolymers production from OMW (Olive oil Mill Wastewater), using a two stage system. H2 and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were produced via... more
A B S T R A C T Poly-hydroxyalkanoate was introduced as a bio-based polymer in many countries many years ago, owing to its biocompatibility and degradation value in the nature. The importance of PHA production of plants and microorganisms... more
There is a renewed interest in nanodiamonds and their applications in biology and medicine, especially in bioimaging and photothermal therapy. This is due to their small size, chemical inertness and unique photo-properties such as bright... more
In this work glasses with nominal molar compositions 0.45SiO2–(0.45-x)MgO–xK2O–0.1(3CaO⋅P2O5) (x=0 and 0.09) were heat-treated according to adequate time-temperature schedules to obtain glass-ceramics (GCs) with phosphate phases. The GCs... more
An overview of the chemistry and properties of silicone and related silicon-containing polymers is presented in the context of biomedical applications of silicones including both implantable and non-implantable medical devices.... more
Implantable neural electrode technologies for chronic neural recordings can restore functional control to paralysis and limb loss victims through brain-machine interfaces. These probes, however, have high failure rates partly due to the... more
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro performance of endodontic sealers in their freshly mixed and set forms. Methods: The commercially used endodontic sealers (AH Plus, Dia-ProSeal, GuttaFlow 2, and... more
Facile synthesis and detailed characterization of photopolymerizable and biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDM) and poly(ethylene glycol) urethane-dimethacrylates (PEGUDM) are described. Poly(ethylene glycol)s of... more
—Engineering opto-electronic devices for operation in liquid environments requires a comprehensive understanding of the consequences of exposing electrode materials to an aqueous environment. For this reason, we have investigated the... more
Titanium oxide film with a graded interface to NiTi matrix was synthesized in situ on NiTi shape memory alloy(SMA) by oxidation in H2O2 solution. In vitro studies including contact angle measurement, hemolysis, MTT cytotoxicity and cell... more
